Dammit! I hate it that I cannot edit a thread picture anymore after creating a thread in kbin!
I just get an error and that's it.

One fail and I need to make a copy of the other thread with the correct image and delete the other thread...
Also, if it takes longer to create the thread and I re-click the create-button, here we go without the picture...

Ch 3 Nbr 8 — What does your most productive writing space look like?

This is my most productive writing space. It includes a keyboard and trackpad glued to my treadmill, a monitor above mirroring my iPadPro to the right, a Apple TV puck, a Homepod mini, and coffee.

I get more revision done here than anywhere else, and some composition, too!

@sfwrtr Cool!
How much have you written with this setup?

Damaskox,

@sfwrtr Oh cool. So a lot of all your writing happens on - wait. Is that a treadmill?

@sfwrtr Just making sure I understood the picture correctly 😁

Is cool!

How do you crosspost (in kbin.social)?

Damaskox,

@jeena I'm in kbin.social.

I don't see a cross-posting icon under a thread of mine 😥

@daredevil I noticed the crosspost box came to view when I copied a thread link into another place.

So cross-posting works already - in a way.

It seems like personal, unreflected fear is the driving force for hate and intolerance. How do you fix that? How would you teach people to not fear certain things?... 🤔 Recently I discussed with someone who is pro forbidding people to wear a hijab, and the only real argument was that they fear people wearing those. That it's weird and unusual. They didn't seem like a hateful person, it was just the fear of something they rarely see which leads them to decide for restricting freedom of others...

...fear is the driving force for hate and intolerance

I've understood that it generally is. The unknown easily creates fear, and fear may generate ill behavior.

How do you fix that? How would you teach people to not fear certain things?

Educating, generally. Close gaps of the unknown, fill those scary black holes with knowledge. Tell folks about things they don't know and don't understand.
That way you open chances to embrace new.

@claras_universe I would probably go with the Golden rule myself.
One another important aspect is that no harm would be done to anyone, no matter the party or the motivations in the story.

Coming up with both reasonable and emotional examples and stories (use one in circumstances as seen fit). Having smart arguments helps. Encouraging them to collect experience of their own might help too (scared of muslims? Talk to them in a safe environment to prove yourself that they are just humans!).

@claras_universe Oh.

Well, I was thinking about talking to individual people, one by one 😂

Maybe it works in a group presentation too, but if the topic is difficult it can create hate or a situation that is difficult to control, undermining the purpose you are enforcing on.

@claras_universe I don't think you can pull off a trick that changes points of views of thousands of people.

Well, at least not through free will...
EDIT: And definitely with no money 😂

@queerscifi Shorter texts require less time to both be written and consumed.

They fit better in a busy life.

I notice myself constantly thinking about the (more silent) magazines I have subscribed to and how they are faring.

I know that I find the magazines I have subscribed to through my profile and the subscriptions. But for reasons I cannot materialize to words that feels like a convoluted way to approach these magazines.

I'm not so sure what I'm trying to say - I guess I just hope there was a view equivalent to https://kbin.social/magazines that showed only the ones I have subscribed to (maybe there could be an option, a box you could tick?) and maybe showing the last time someone created any kind of activity within a magazine?

Damaskox,
Damaskox avatar

@ernest Yeah well you don't need to phrase it as "Last activity". Just in a way that the user understands what it means/is for 😁

Since I'm enthusiast about this - how long you think until it will be there? 6 months?

How does one embed a GIF so it shows in a comment without clicking any links?

Test: https://tenor.com/fi/view/this-is-just-sad-sad-angry-mock-horror-gif-11156785

Test 2: <div class="tenor-gif-embed" data-postid="11156785" data-share-method="host" data-aspect-ratio="1.77515" data-width="100%"><a href="https://tenor.com/view/this-is-just-sad-sad-angry-mock-horror-gif-11156785">This Is Just Sad Angry GIF</a>from <a href="https://tenor.com/search/this+is+just+sad-gifs">This Is Just Sad GIFs</a></div> <script type="text/javascript" async src="https://tenor.com/embed.js"></script>

Test 3: I tried to add it as a picture as a file from the computer but editing this comment doesn't add it.

@Darkassassin07 Hmm. Difficult to tell the difference cos all I see are links with an image icon 😂
Though clicking on them shows me the difference visually, in a new tab.

I'll stick to the Add media -button in my case...and in my client.

@Darkassassin07 Hehe.
No worries!

@Fiivemacs Yeah well, I suppose some folks rather not see emojis neither.
Though they take less space in your eyes than GIFs, they may not always deliver the same feeling what the sender intends 🙂
